This 50mm x 45mm Maori Koru pendant is hand-carved from natural cattle bone and features traditional engravings with vibrant Paua shell inlays. It serves as a profound symbol of new beginnings and the peaceful coming together of people, suspended on an adjustable cord.
This Maori Hei Koru is a masterwork of symmetry and light, integrating the iridescent luster of Paua shell into the matte strength of cattle bone. The design captures the pitau (unfurling fern frond) in a state of perpetual motion, a central motif in Maori artistry that denotes Whakapapa (genealogy) and the continuous cycle of life. The intricate surface engravings enhance the tactile connection to the piece, while the spiral form serves as a visual prayer for Rongo (peace) and harmony between individuals and their environment.
